Five Tips When Buying Your First Home

State Wide Realty Farmville VA:

Five Tips When Buying Your First Home

 

Tip # 1: Get Your Credit in Order

                There are several credit reporting sites on the web that can let you know where your credit stands and also offer some advice on how to improve or maintain your credit score. Make sure to choose a reputable site that won’t use your information for unwanted purposes or that will keep running your score without your permission. These things can have a negative impact when a lender goes to check your credit for a loan. Don’t trust the web? No worries, you can visit your local bank and they can help you discover what your credit score is and what if anything you need to do to improve or maintain it.

Tip #2: Save Money

                You will need to have money for your earnest money deposit , which is an amount of money you give as a deposit that shows your intention to buy the home and gets applied to your purchase price at closing. There are also other costs such as down payment and closing costs to consider as well.

Tip #3: Start Your Search

                Once you know where you want to live and how much you can afford, now is the time for you to search and find just the right State Wide Realty agent. A State Wide agent will work with you through each step of the home buying process and beyond. Be careful when searching real estate online most websites have delays in updating information or will present information that is misleading or confusing. Your State Wide Realty agent can tell you what is on the market now and also notify you when new listings hit the market.

Tip #4: Have Patience

                It would be wonderful if everyone fell in love with the first home they saw and never had to look at another home again BUT that is very rarely the case EVER! Go into your home search with the understanding that waiting for the right place may be longer in some cases than others. This is a major life purchase that requires plenty of time and thought put into it.

Tip #5: Don’t Settle

                Buying a home just to buy one is not a wise choice because you have to live in this home every day so make sure you are getting what you want. There may be some comprises you make but you want to avoid choosing a home just because you are tired of looking, you feel it is the only option or you feel pressured to do so. Your State Wide Realty agent will work with you to make sure that you are 100% ready to put an offer on a home and do so in a no-pressure atmosphere where you are the boss.

The best advice that I can give about buying a new home is to try and enjoy it. Each property you see is one step closer to the property you buy and believe me once you walk through your own front door for the first time all the other stuff won’t matter at all.
